On April 24th the Country Music Marathon in Nashville Tennessee will hopefully add a virgin pair of legs to the marathoning world. I will be one of the select few (one of about 60,000 runners) to try to run, walk, crawl, piggy back my way around the 26.2 mile course, all while listening to a genre of music i really can't stand. I'm hoping to use the twanging noise and overly sincere lyrics of that pure country sound to push me to the finish line faster so that I can put my headphones on and listen to some proper cynical, mopish music which dominates indie rock.
I've also tried to sucker a bunch of friends into their first marathon, so that I can spread the pain a bit. More soon on the background to this stupid idea, the family members joining me, the party that week will entail, and the drudgery of training... but it is 10.20 and i think i better start work.
See...
